Truth in Saving With Centsible Interest and Morse Rate Tables

TRUTH IN SAVINGS explains in plain English the requirements, including standardized terminology, of the new Truth in Savings Act, effective March 19, 1993, regulating banks' disclosures of interest rates or penalties in advertisements for personal savings accounts & on periodic statements. The book's explanation of interest is grounded in the basic time-price value of money. TIS explains interest rates so that readers can compare advertised yields of various banks & demonstrates the computations needed to verify bank statements. TIS includes interest tables for various rates & frequencies of compounding, showing the earnings in cents per $100. There are 64 pages of tables & instructions for creating one's own tables or ordering custom-made tables from the author. TIS contains a section by section commentary on the law & a summary of its legislative history by the "father of Truth in Savings," who pioneered in drafting Truth in Savings legislation as far back as the mid sixties. When his thirty years of effort paid off, Jane Bryant Quinn said, "Savers should erect a statue to Richard L. D. Morse." TRUTH IN SAVINGS demonstrates the essential simplicity of the law for consumers, bankers, adult educators, personal finance counselors, financial personnel trainers, & government regulators.Morse, Richard L. is the author of 'Truth in Saving With Centsible Interest and Morse Rate Tables' with ISBN 9781881331001 and ISBN 1881331008.
